Hi Al. Hope you like this photo of you from our last kite sesh on thursday.

Cool..... I'm a KSW team rider too!!!




Al.

nice one al you can say youv'e jumped a house in dovey, cool pic as well shem

Wow! That looks awsome! I gotta have a go at this kite surfing malarky!

well look at you, is that at the estury?

Yep. It is... Shame it wasn't windy enough for that last weekend hey??

Al.

Hey - Al - now that's more like it!! That is some proper air!! What's KSW?
I'm off kiting with extreme holidays next week - any tips? I've only done it twice before and am not overly proficient....

Hi Shawn...
KSW is Kite Surf Wales.. Check them out!

You probably don't want to hear this, but we were looking at Extreme Holidays, and someone on here said that they didn't actually get to do much kite-surfing when they went on a course with them.... I hope you have a good time... Let us know how you get on as we still haven't booked anything yet.

I don't really have any tips... Shem (From KSW) is the man to ask... He posts here quite often. I haven't done much kite-surfing myself, so don't really feel qualified to gives tips yet!

Al.

errrmm, that was me then.

Shawn, Hope you can post in a week or two and tell me I was told incorrectly. have a good trip.

Wes

Think Ill have to take bookings for foreign coaching holidays for next winter. Learning in Welsh Estuarys just aint that appealing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Besides I could do with 3 months in Tariffa!!

Hmmmm - This is not the 1st time i've heard bad reports about extreme hols.......... hopefully I'le be able to come back and say it's all a load of rubbish, and that there was more kiting on offer than my hands could take, with superb kit and excellent instruction.... Here's hoping anyways....
If it does look a bit iffy I'll hire out some windsurfing kit for the week & go ripping with that instead...... er... i hope.

KSW - Nice site - is that you Shem, doing the fancy stuff? Mighty impressive!!

I've just posted a load of new photos (courtesy of local photographer Janet baxter) in the 'More Windsurf' gallery, but as this thread was entitled 'Al gets air', I thought I'd post one or two of me getting air here as well....

Yeah right!!!... Maybe one day, although I seem to be getting worse and worse at surfing these days.

Al.

Nice photos Al... Some of the ones in the new gallery look like good adverts for a certain brand of sails too Especially the one of you going into a gybe, with GUN splashed across the foot of the sail for all to see.
